Vanja and I have been to Paris multiple times, and have visited their iconic cathedral Notre Dame three times during some of those visits. Seeing the news yesterday brought a few tears in my eyes.. especially when the spire fell 😢

Thankfully the fire was put out and though badly damaged, Notre Dame still stands. And it looks like they’ve been able to save a lot and thus prevent a total destruction. Kudos to all the firefighters who worked so hard and put themselves in danger to save it.
